Are you passionate about research?
Do you enjoy working together with others?
Why not share your insights in an international academic setting?

We invite student teams from various disciplines and cultural backgrounds to participate in the upcoming student conference 'Nurturing Critical Minds' — a dynamic forum for presenting collaborative research proposals and projects.
The conference is organised by the Institute of Foreign Languages at the Faculty of Philology, Vilnius University. We deliver courses on 'English for Academic Purposes and Research' across the University’s faculties and actively engages in collaborative academic initiatives with partners in Lithuania and abroad. Vilnius University is also a member of the Arqus European University Alliance.

We therefore warmly welcome participants not only from Vilnius University, but also from other Arqus institutions and our wider network of partner universities.
This conference serves as the final event of the 'English for Academic Purposes and Research' course, which follows an action-oriented approach — encouraging student agency, promoting critical and analytical thinking, strengthening intercultural communication, developing academic literacy, fostering teamwork in research, and highlighting the interdisciplinary nature and social relevance of research in contemporary society.
